FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the adidas Samba OG generally fits true to standard UK sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, you may prefer to go up by a half size.
Can I use these for sports?
While they were originally designed as indoor soccer shoes, they are now categorized as lifestyle sneakers. They may lack the advanced cushioning needed for high-impact sports.
Are the materials waterproof?
No, they are not inherently waterproof. It is recommended to use a protective spray to help repel light moisture and dirt.
How do I ensure I get the correct size?
Measure your foot from heel to toe in centimeters or millimeters and compare it to the brand's official sizing guide to match your UK size.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the Samba OG is designed as a unisex product suitable for both men and women, provided you select the correct size conversion.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box area
Creasing is a natural characteristic of the materials used in retro-style sneakers. Using a shoe tree when not in use can help maintain the shape.
Surface dirt accumulation
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning wipe or a soft cloth dipped in lukewarm water with a small amount of gentle soap.
Feeling too flat or uncomfortable for long walks
Consider inserting a high-quality aftermarket insole with better arch support to customize the fit to your foot type.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Samba OG trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These shoes follow standard UK sizing. Use a tape measure from your heel to the tip of your longest toe to verify your fit against standard footwear charts before purchase.
- Cleaning: For the white upper, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution on a damp cloth; avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the adhesives and the integrity of the leather or synthetic components.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration of the white material.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather and synthetic sneakers to simplify future cleaning.
